Draisaitl's Second Goal Seals Edmonton Oilers' Overtime Victory Over Detroit Red Wings

Sunday, October 27th, 2024

Leon Draisaitl scored his second goal of the night just 18 seconds into overtime, leading the Edmonton Oilers to a 3-2 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday night.

Evan Bouchard contributed a goal for the Oilers, and Calvin Pickard secured the victory with 25 saves. Connor McDavid and Mattias Ekholm each tallied two assists.

Andrew Copp and J.T. Compher found the net for the Red Wings, while Patrick Kane added two assists. Cam Talbot made 30 saves for Detroit.

The Oilers have now prevailed in five of their last six encounters with the Red Wings, boasting a 5-0-1 record.

From the match, it's noted that Draisaitl has extended his point streak to six games with his two goals. Meanwhile, McDavid has accumulated 25 points over 16 career games against Detroit. Jeff Petry registered his first point of the season for the Red Wings.

A pivotal moment occurred with just under two minutes left in regulation when Copp received a tripping penalty. However, Detroit's penalty-killing unit, standing at 31st in the NHL, successfully countered the threat.

The Red Wings have been outshot in their past six games, holding a 3-3 record during this period. They currently sit at the bottom of the league in terms of shots allowed and shots generated per game.

Next on the schedule, the Oilers will play against Columbus on Monday, while the Red Wings are set to host Winnipeg on Wednesday.
